It is not entirely a strawman for sure. We have had cases (with which
you are familiar) where the developer was 100% sure their patch was
correct, and were convinced that it meant that a latent bug had been
unearthed.
But both my proposal, and that of at least one other person, is that
somebody *other* than the developer has to agree that the patch is
correct and has exposed a latent bug before it gets treated that way.
